New The Green Hornet from Universal & Amasia Ent.

Announced is another Reboot for The Green Hornet!

‘Green Hornet and Kato’ Movie Project Lands at Universal Pictures – Variety

 

Kevin Smith Developing ‘The Green Hornet’ Animated Series – Deadline
​

Kevin Smith and WildBrain are developing the new animated series to be set in contemporary times, following the adventures of a re-imagined Green Hornet and Kato - now the grown son of original Green Hornet and the daughter of the original Kato – as they partner to battle crime in Century City. It will also feature the Green Hornet’s ultra-high-tech car, Black Beauty.

 

Why do we need "the son of" or "the daughter of" those characters? They're comic book characters and not exactly as big as say Superman of Batman that we need a ton of different versions of them. Derogative characters can sometimes work but more often they seem like a weak imitation. Just come up with something new instead of that cliched "offspring" idea.

 

Rather have the '66 series on dvd/Blu-ray

 

Yeah definitely why hasn't this release happened yet?

 

This is like making a big deal out of rehashing an era-gone-by property like Conde Nast's "The Shadow".
Nobody cares, despite how much money could be made, even if you think you can come up with a way to intrigue a public who gave up on it half-a-century ago.

Okay...ya got a dude with an overcoat, a mask around his eyes, and a green car. I've already got one of these in my garage already. And, he's got a manservant who does his judo kicks for him. Yeah, that should be a winning combination.

 

Haha, nicely put. It really is a product of it's time. the only reason I know is because of Bruce Lee and the Batman cross over. That being said, the characters felt old-fashioned to me, even for a 60's series. Like they were stuck in the 30's.

 

In William Kotzwinkle's Nightbook (1974?) a gay couple go to a fancy dress party as The Green Cornholer and his manservant Cocko. These days that might be the way to take a movie.
